From day 1 · 3 of its 5 tasks

Centro: test a normal errand day

Can I do my ordinary errands here comfortably, and what would it feel like to live one or two blocks away?

Parque San Sebastián → ETAPA Tarqui, Tarqui y Gran Colombia → Parque Calderón → Mercado 10 de Agosto

Start at San Sebastián square. Compare the plaza with a nearby residential side street and write down traffic, delivery and gathering noise.
Walk toward the ETAPA Tarqui office and identify the tram alignment along Gran Colombia. Read the current payment instructions at a stop; ask which card or ticket is accepted before boarding.
At Parque Calderón, identify a pharmacy, a cash-access option and a practical grocery stop you would actually use. Record the business names and their posted hours.
